What does a legal immigrant that is married to a citizen do to get citizenship?

In: Citizenship and Marriage, Immigration [Edit categories]

Answer:

Consult an immigration attorney before the marriage! There are certain forms and procedures that have to be followed in order for the citizenship to be granted. The first step is to get a green card. Citizenship requires a number of years of residency, filing the applications and passing a test. Then one can be sworn in as a citizen.
